How do YOU achieve SUCCESS…Persistence.
Welcome back to OBSESSUCCESS!
Augustine โOgโ Mandino was one of the greatest self-help authors and motivational speakers who has ever lived.
His personal story is one of encouragement and inspiration.
In 1968, Ogโs book, The Greatest Salesman in the World was published and became a best seller.
In the book, Og introduces his readers to The Legend of the Ten Scrolls.โ
His instructions in the book were to read each scroll three times a day for 30 days straight and once you have finished, you would then move onto the next scroll and begin with that scroll.
If you followed the instructions, it would take you 10 months to complete the task.
The scrolls cover many topics that when followed can lead to success and all are tremendous and of great import.
But there is one scroll in particular that the OBSESSUCCESS philosophy regards as critical for YOUR success and that is scroll three.
Scroll three – I WILL Persist until I Succeed.
The discipline of PERSISTENCE is one of the steps in OBSESSUCCESS: The Philosophy of Achievement.
YOUR PERSISTENCE is paramount in YOUR OBSESSUCCESS journey.
Mr. Mandino wrote it beautifully, when he wrote these wordsโฆ
โThe prizes of life are at the end of the journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.
Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step is not too difficult.โ
โI will persist until I succeed.โ
โI will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle I will consider a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.โ
โI will persist until I succeed.โ
More tomorrow, until then,
YOU WILL PERSIST UNTIL YOU HAVE YOUR OBSESSUCCESS!
